I collect stories from people that are enthousiastic about their work, know what they love doing and take control of their working life. They are owners of their own job. They balance their waking hours between clients, travelling, family and writing. They share their sh*t online. They’re my tribe.

There is a reason why these people are highly independent, professsional and passionate workers. I want to discover that reason.

The method

Think of an ethnographic study of the culture of my tribe: online networked passionate workers.

The people

I, Elmine Wijnia, lead this project. The people that I’ll interview are people that I connect with online, or are recommended by the people in my network.

The project

I know a lot of people that work with so much enthusiasm and passion that they keep on doing it, no matter what. Their work and life seem to blend together and demarcation between private and work life seems not that relevant to them.

This project is about them, passionate professionals, and finding out why they're such passionate workers. Using video-interviews I want to portray these interesting people that belong to my tribe.
